Unless they start sourcing local/organic/pasture raised, I doubt millenials will just start going to McD's.

I totally get you on the "grandeur" thing in terms of views, etc. Considering your age, interests, health concerns, and needs, my recommendation is to not go out into the sticks. I would recommend a...

Cute. :D

I see a lot of waste in their budget, but I'm not sure what their tax rates are. :)

We spend very little. If we were making $196k/annum, we'd be swimming. :D

Getting an executor is easy: just ask someone. Seriously, you can go with any number of professionals who do it -- and usually for a small fee (either up front or from the estate).

For moving, I...

Seeing as I work in a business that I'm striving to make repeatable and scaleable, yes, I get how that works. It's the basic franchise model, actually -- so it's one that I work with.

My...

that's adorable. :D

If I had to choose between staying in a job that I didn't like to sock away $2m vs doing a job that I enjoyed for less money, longer, -- well, I've chosen the work for joy.

And, the nice thing is...

This is basically the situation. DH's prior company was a small company that provided one of two products in a specific market. They focused on creating a better project than the other small company....

This is also a viable option, because buying out BIL would be only half the mortgage which you may be able to pay off more quickly on your income. If you can make this work, then I say go for it.

(we live happily on half of $5k/mo for a family of three, no pets, in a high COL area too -- so it's definitely do able! :) )

In terms of an executor for your wills, just go with your lawyer. We did. Keeps down the politics, and the lawyer takes his/her fees from the estate before handing over the remainder. my accountant...

i haven't lived in any one place for too long, but when I lived in PA, there was an obvious cycle to the weather. It went like this:

1. yr 1: crazy-ass winter with lots of blizzards and...

we used to just put a paper grocery bag on the floor for our old girl. :)

Here are my thoughts on things:

1. MIL's house/BIL's house

Sell both, take the money, and pay off the commercial debts, the IRS, and the student loans. Put the rest into savings (assuming...

We keep it simple by having a very basic meal plan with easy-to-prepare meals. DH does most of the food prep, so it has to be very simple. Here is our basic menu:

breakfast: eggs in butter and...

same, pony mom.

DH and I are looking at getting a combination washer/dryer, which we could put where our dishwasher is in the kitchen. Then putting another fridge or an upright freezer in the...

I'm not that interesting, so I assume I'm not on any lists.

I love purging. I do it each quarter for certain; weekly declutter and tidy. :)

Congrats on the pretty, *leetle!* baby girl. :D

This situation is probably even more complex than I comprehend, but i'm going to put my perspective in because. . . well, I have one and I have thought about it for a couple of days.

You see, I...

Asia is actually extremely inexpensive and extremely diverse. Here, going to Vietnam, Laos and Thailand is a fun, affordable trip.

But if I were to choose of those three, I'd go to south america....

I do my stuff and DS's stuff quarterly. DH has to be forced to do his. LOL

Congratulations! Dashiell was one my short list, too. :D

That's cool. We don't have a 99 cent store here. But what i see -- which is exciting -- is that there is inexpensive food available that is healthy foods.

Pretty much if you cut the toast, he's...
